Marvel Superheroes in China

Even if it's for physical fitness, they actually designated a mountain range as territory for a sect with only four members, prohibiting ordinary people from entering.

What's going on?

Meanwhile, Mayor Ma of Chuncheng was also in a real bind. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, gazing at the distant Chunshan Mountain, he muttered to himself:

"What exactly is going on? Why am I being asked to give the entire 40-square-kilometer Chunshan area to Xingyi Sect? And why is the government being asked to deploy resources to maintain security in the surrounding area and not allow ordinary people to enter Chunshan?"

"In all my years in power, I've never heard of or seen anything like this. There must be someone behind this, right? But who is this person who has such power and isn't afraid of being exposed at all? The news is being reprinted everywhere, but he's not afraid of being exposed at all. Even if someone has powerful backers, they wouldn't dare to act so blatantly, would they?"

Muttering to himself, Mayor Ma solemnly picked up a red-headed document. This document was issued directly to him by the Provincial Party Committee… or rather, not the Provincial Party Committee, but headed by 'National Defense…'

Mayor Ma was completely baffled: "What does this have to do with national defense?"

"..."

At this moment, not only the mayor of Ma, but even the governor of the Southwest Province, Niu, was shocked: "Just who is the Xingyi Sect's backer? How dare they so openly divide a mountain range among them? This... who is this powerful person?"

"Moreover, only other related news reports were exposed, and CCTV News didn't mention it at all, pretending not to see it. There was no action taken at all, and it seems that everyone from top to bottom has tacitly agreed to it."

As he spoke, Governor Niu glanced at the news reports from various regions condemning Xingyi School, and how the opening of Xingyi School was met with a lukewarm reception. He couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

"They really are a bunch of clueless people. The Xingyi Sect has such a powerful background that even the powerful don't bother with them. Do you think they'd be met with indifference when they establish their own sect?"

"None of you know what a martial artist is! A martial artist... a martial artist!"

Governor Niu exclaimed in surprise, his pupils shrinking: "Martial artists, definitely martial artists. A group that transcends all power in the world. Martial artists, the Xingyi Sect has super powerful martial artists supporting it... What level of martial artist is it?"

As the provincial governor, Governor Niu had a relatively good understanding of martial artists. He knew that martial artists were, in fact, the protectors of this country and this world. They operated outside the law and above worldly conventions; their power was unbelievable. Yet, they remained very low-key.

His own level was too low; even he didn't understand what martial artists had sacrificed. Why were martial artists allowed to enjoy such privileges? Why did everyone say that martial artists were protecting the world?

"I once heard a former leader mention that there are six great guardians in the east, south, west, north, central, and capital regions of China. I don't know what they are guarding, but each guardian is a master of the Gang Jin realm. Gang Jin... what level is that? Are there even more powerful beings above the six guardians?"

Governor Niu was shocked and his scalp tingled: "Could it be that the Xingyi Sect has the support of a regional garrison commander? If the Xingyi Sect is supported by a garrison commander, then... it's possible that they could even give an entire city to the Xingyi Sect."

Garrison Commander...

Governor Niu took a deep breath, and the more he thought about it, the more sense it made.

If the garrison commander is supporting Xingyimen, it would be too easy for Xingyimen to obtain Chunshan.

Will Xingyi Sect, which has the support of the garrison commander, encounter a cold reception when it establishes itself as a sect?

No, it's not possible...

Governor Niu's pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Prepare the car! I'm going to Chunshan in person to attend the opening ceremony of the Xingyi School tomorrow."

"...".

Chapter 39: Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill

'drop'

Finally, the long-lost voice of the system rang in my mind.

"You have defeated an opponent of the same level and have gained 100,000 martial arts points."

Host: Qin Wu

Martial Arts Points: 86,000

Realm: Muscles and bones resonate in unison

Secret Technique: None

Qin Wu, who was making arrangements for Li Qiushui, saw this information in his mind and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Li Qiushui now refers to herself as Qin Wu's eldest disciple. Seeing Qin Wu suddenly lost in thought, she quickly asked, "Master, what's wrong? How should we arrange things at Chunshan? I feel like quite a few people will be attending tomorrow. We can't let down the reputation of our Xingyi Sect."

Qin Wu waved his hand: "You can make your own arrangements. I have something to do."

"Oh."

Li Qiushui nodded, watching Qin Wu's departing figure with curiosity. Without thinking much about it, she turned around and arranged for Empress Bai to get to work.

Back in his bedroom, Qin Wu closed the door, unable to contain his excitement any longer: "I actually got 100,000 points for killing Hong Shengyu?"

"A powerful expert whose bones and muscles resonate can actually bring me 100,000? That's a lot!"

"Fighting, only fighting can make you rich."

Looking at his 180,000 points, Qin Wu took a deep breath in excitement: "System, arrange a lottery."

"The lottery will cost 100,000 points. Confirm?"

"Confirmed, proceed with the lottery."

"Ding! You have consumed 100,000 points."

Host: Qin Wu

Martial Arts Points: 86,000

Strength (jin): 3000 (+)

Realm: Muscles and bones resonate in unison

Secret Technique: None

Immediately afterwards, the screen panel in Qin Wu's mind went dark, and after a moment, a large spinning wheel appeared.

Qin Wu's mind raced: "Begin."

As soon as I finished speaking, the wheel in my mind started spinning...

A few seconds later, 'ding—'

A soft sound.

The pointer on the roulette wheel pointed to 'movement technique manuals'.

Immediately afterwards, the system's voice echoed in my mind:

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the movement technique manual 'Cloud Shadow Lightness Skill'."

Host: Qin Wu

Martial Arts Points: 86,000

Strength (jin): 3000 (+)

Realm: Muscles and bones resonate in unison

Secret Technique: Cloud Shadow Lightness Skill (Level: None)

"The secret manual of lightness skill!"

Qin Wu exclaimed in surprise, "The rarest lightness skill manual? I found it? Lightness skill, it's actually lightness skill. Cloud Shadow?"

Qin Wu quickly calmed himself down and began to browse through the Cloud Shadow Lightness Skill. The introduction stated:

Cloud Shadow Lightness Skill is a superior-level manual of lightness skills, learnable only by those at the Innate Realm. The Cloud Shadow Lightness Skill has three levels.

First level: Moving like clouds and smoke, covering ten thousand miles in a day. When the speed reaches its limit, the practitioner's figure becomes invisible, like clouds and smoke, drifting and ethereal, like a dream. Furthermore, the leg muscles and bones are fully developed, moving silently and without a sound. This is the first level.

The second level: Feet never touch the ground, traveling 50,000 miles a day. Ordinary people can no longer perceive this. The practitioner, standing here, is not actually standing here at the moment of reaching this point, but rather having achieved the pinnacle of the "feet never touch the ground" state. The Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot will constantly unleash power, converging at the Baihui acupoint to form a continuous flow. It's as if there's a pushing force under the feet, as if there's a lifting force above the head. The practitioner becomes as light as a feather, the soles of their feet never touching the ground again, leaving no trace on snow, treading on waves without a ripple. Like a ghost, like a phantom.

Third Level: Riding on auspicious clouds, one can roam the world freely. Having become a terrestrial immortal, with a mere thought, one can soar to the heavens, tread upon wind and frost, and ride the clouds and mist. Like a dragon, like the wind, like an immortal, like a god. Those at the same level can never fathom the practitioner's form…

After reading the introduction to this lightness skill, Qin Wu gasped in shock.

hiss--

My scalp suddenly felt numb.

"Such lightness skill exists in this world?"

'If I had only mastered the first level, "Moving Like Clouds and Smoke," even experts in internal energy wouldn't be able to attack me, right? My movements would be as unpredictable as clouds and smoke, my speed would be so fast it would be ten thousand miles a day… at least three times my current speed. Is this what lightness skill is?'

Qin Wu was astonished. Such incredible lightness skill truly existed in the world. It was genuine lightness skill.

No, it can't even be considered light-footed skill anymore.

It's more like the legendary "lifting and releasing technique"!

He quickly flipped through the practice process and methods.

Qin Wu then realized that the Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill was actually a breathing technique. It was a unique breathing method that combined the angle, distance, amplitude, and power of each step with the flow of energy to elevate the human body to its ultimate potential.

In other words, when a normal person walks, taking one step actually involves two actions: taking a step and swinging the arm.

However, in the Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill, walking becomes more than a dozen steps: lift the leg, inhale, retract the foot, inhale again, place the foot down, exhale, circulate the energy path, complete the microcosmic orbit within the body, move forward, hold your breath...

Extremely difficult!

Moreover, normal people walk.

However, in the Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill, when walking, one needs to control the distance between each step and the bending angle of each joint. Only in this way can one unleash maximum power.

Moreover, it happened silently.

When Qin Wu unleashes his speed, the reaction force creates a large crater in the ground, and in fact, this is true for every martial artist. However, after learning the Cloud and Smoke Lightness Skill, he becomes completely silent.

This means you can approach a martial artist silently. And he can never predict your speed or direction.

"This technique is defying the heavens!"
